The No T$ No B$ Thread
Simple fact there is no connection, different name, different colours. Little connection to the past. As you suggest for every new supporter they picked up there was another like me who dropped off. I feel no connection to United. Interesting that over the last decade as the Dees spiralled to irrelevancy I have got a lot more enjoyment watching second and third tier sport. There is no TV so you have to go. Perhaps I just hunger for a simpler time but I really enjoy being close to the action something that is totally missing in AFL

End of the NBL?
Is the NBL dead it has been on life support for a few years now but the end may have arrived? I wrote the following elsewhere but thought I would start a thread here. Unlike most others I am a fan of Basketball and used to be a member of the Tigers. I quit when they became "united" . I still like basketball and this year will follow the Tigers in the "Big V' league. There was a time when the NBL was threatening to take on the AFL. I remember in the 90's going to Full houses at the Tennis centre on Friday nights. In my opinion it got a little ahead of itself and spent more than it could afford then moved to Summer and IMO lost its way. seems doomed now with two clubs in receivership another close and three being held up by wealth benefactors. It is said that the owners of Melbourne United have put in $7million over the last three years. It is gone I think and I as a force of one am disappointed. The up side is I can support the Tigers again. I wonder if I would do the same if the dees ended up in the Amos? I think maybe yes.

I know this is occasional a thread about Aussie rules but i have to make a comment about the impending doom of the NBL.

No Mr Leg I got almost exactly what I expected.Happy with the result after all it is practise match no.1 I still think we have a bottom six list not a top four one like Freo. We are improving I think things are going to plan. I just think a lot of dees supporters imagine the list is way better than it is is. I think I have said before that 2016 is the year I think we will move up the ladder a fair bit. Nothinhg I have seen so far suggests I am wrong. Happy to be of course.
